Excavations in 1915 to 1918 and 1928 to 1930 revealed 530 graves representing Corinthian burial practices over the course of 1,600 years. The earliest burials were a cluster of 13 Middle Bronze Age burials, including one containing a gold diadem, perhaps originally covered by a tumulus. The next in date are 49 Geometric and 65 Protocorinthian graves. The remainder are Archaic, Classical and Early Hellenistic with a few of the Roman period. Later graves respected earlier burials taking care not to disturb them.; The favored burial practice is to place the body in a crouched position lying on one side in a built cist or, later, a limestone sarcophagus. Pottery and other objects perhaps used in the burial ceremony were placed in and around the sarcophagus.","Corinth:Drawing:184 000::/Corinth/Architectural_Plans/184_North_Cemetery/184_000.jpg::1800::1324","Corinthia | Ancient Corinth | Ancient Corinth, North | North Cemetery","","Corinth:Monument:North Cemetery","","Monument","Corinth","" "Dellatolas, Petros","digital 2015 2894","2015-08-11 00:00:00+03","","","specific view","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2894::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2015 season photos/2015_2894.jpg::1800::1285","Corinthia | New Corinth","MIDDLE HELLADIC BRONZE WIRE LOOP","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2894","","Image","Corinth","" "Dellatolas, Petros","digital 2015 2904","2015-08-11 00:00:00+03","","","specific view","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2904::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2015 season photos/2015_2904.jpg::1800::1285","Corinthia | New Corinth","MIDDLE HELLADIC STONE BEAD","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2904","","Image","Corinth","" "Dellatolas, Petros","digital 2015 2905","2015-08-11 00:00:00+03","","","specific view","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2905::/Corinth/Photos/digital/2015 season photos/2015_2905.jpg::1800::1285","Corinthia | New Corinth","MIDDLE HELLADIC STONE BEAD","Corinth:Image:digital 2015 2905","","Image","Corinth","" "","bw 2008 067 33","","","","specific view","Corinth:Image:bw 2008 067 33::/Corinth/Photos/negatives/year_roll/2008_067/2008_st_067_033.jpg::1800::1003","","Middle Helladic Stone Bead","Corinth:Image:bw 2008 067 33","","Image","Corinth","" "Blegen, Carl William; Palmer, Hazel & Young, Rodney S.","Blegen, et al.
